A New Yogini's Questions

[Ksenia_P]

Hi Harlan,

I was one of the teacher trainees at Sonic when you gave your speech.

So I'm making progress little by little, picked up one class a week at Curves all women work out, and have another one pending at the same place, so that 2 a week. And I have a client that I teach privately, who is my friend.

My web-site is being built, but I put a temp up, while I'm waiting for the real thing, you are welcome to check it out inspiritlivng.net, I started to advertize thru google, and yahoo, printed some coupons and left in a few places around town.

But I'm just not getting responses. My drishti is to get more private clients, and I am a primary bread winner in my family, since its only my cat and me
So I wouldn't mind making a few bucks for a new BMW)

Help!

Hi, what color is your BMW going to be?

It's not a joke.

Sara knew what color her BMW was going to be.

She put up a picture in her home and in my office.

And she said, I'm going to be driving a BMW by....

And it happened.

So give me a little more detail on what's stopping you.

I'm sensing some fear here...

You can do this.

You're in the NY area so it's filled wall to wall with potential clients.

In fact, you'll probably have to turn away business.

And since you were with Sonic Yoga, I'd love to show Jonathan
how one of his teachers can go all the way to the top.

(I love you Jonathan if you're reading this...)

So give me a little more information.

I'm heading up to NY on business soon so maybe we
can hook up.

You can kick my butt in a session and I'll go over your marketing
plan.

Peace.

Harlan

Ok mine is actually going to be a white audi A4, and I got it on my fridge

I am located in the Jersey Shore area about an hour from New York, and want to do business locally.

I have put my temp. site up while the real thing is being built. There I have listed the benefits of yoga, my pic, and contact info.
I have used google ads and yahoo to create some traffic, and its around 200 people a month. I live in a big building complex, and put some ads under people's doors. I put some coupons in one local hair salon, spa and chiropractor. I told my friends.
The problem is no one responds.

If you are sensing fear it might come from the fact that I don't have a car, and I wonder how will I be getting around to this people's houses, or should I invite them to mine? I guess there are always cabs.

Anyway, I love the idea of getting together, let me know when are you coming and how to reach you. I don't mind being Sonic's success story ) I actually would love to be one.

P.S I have the pages with text for the real web-site that perhaps you want to look over.

Well I just checked the yoga listings in Craigslist in your area
and turned up...

a big fat zero.

No one else is advertising there.

Hmmm....

Just published an ad in the south jersey section under lessons, titled Looking for a change?

[Administrator]

Hi. I looked up your ad.

I'd copy it here but then it would make you cry.

You just list a bunch of benefits of yoga.

But you are not talking to the people here.

Just making a list.

Your ads need to be as if you're sitting and having coffee with a friend
and talking with them.

Also, I wouldn't talk about sexual benefits in an ad. Yes it's true but I'd
personally wonder about what that is going to bring in.

Back to the drawing board!

Peace.

Whether you are looking for a new way to lose weight, a way to more flexibility or strength, or just a new way to feel good about yourself and your body, yoga can do it for you! There are many benefits to yoga. On a physical level you will lose weight, increase your flexibility and strength, improve circulation and blood pressure, feel relaxed, and look and feel younger. On the energetical level you will unblock stagnant energy (which by the way is the cause of many diseases), increase your creativity, and raise your energy levels. On the mental level your concentration and focus will improve, along with the sleeping patterns. You will experience an over-all increase of vitality.

OK, this is better but still not there.

Review the "Will you marry me?" video on the ideas page.

I'd did this at the seminar.

You need to tell much much more.

You're getting there.

Remember, you have NO competition.

Also, try posting your ad in the section for therapeutic.

That's what has worked for Sara.

Peace.

Whether you are looking for a new way to lose weight, a way to more flexibility or strength, or just a new way to feel good about yourself and your body, yoga can do it for you! Yoga is one of the most ancient traditions in the world. Its benefits are enumerable, and would take me a few pages if I start listing them here. So I will give a few. On a physical level, yoga will help you lose weight, tighten your skin, increase strength and flexibility, it will lower your blood pressure and improve circulation. It is a great way to detox. It could be a powerful work out or a way to relax yourself. On a mental level, yoga will improve your focus and concentration, as well as attention and sleeping patterns. On the energetical level, yoga will unblock your stagnant energy (that by the way often causes disease), it will help you become more creative and/or overcome creative blocks, your sense of joy will increase, your mood will lift, and anxiety and depression will decrease. Yoga affects your state of well-being on all the levels!

There are many misconceptions about yoga, so let me help clarify them for you. It is not a religion, and you don't have to be flexible or strong to do it. Yoga is for everyone, from children to seniors, from CEOs to stay at home moms.

Because everyone has different needs and abilities, I offer private yoga sessions. This way we could create a program that works for you. In my sessions I offer guidance on how to get into poses, I explain what they are good for, and demonstrate them for you. The beauty of a private session is that my attention is all yours, and I could oversee that you don't get hurt while practicing (it is especially helpful if you are recovering from an injury). And just so you know, I will not push you above your abilities and limitation (although if you are up for it, I may give you a challenge once in a while


Call today 732-222-0757 for a private session with me, and discover all the ways that yoga could change or add to your life!

It's much better but I wouldn't spend much time on the injuries part.

People don't know about yoga injuries.

Shhhh.

Test it and see.
